Confession time...I'm a terrible singer. Like, turrible. But I don't let that stop me (Follow your dreams, people) from belting out my own little diddies and dance moves in my therapy sessions. Why? Mostly because it draws attention and makes my students laugh. But also, I know that movements and chants and rhymes can all help my students engage and learn. Like the kind of learning that sticks. Let's take a look at some research:

Is your student producing multiple sound errors? Are you unsure of where to start? Review the typical and atypical phonological processing disorder...
Gestalt language processing is a different way of learning and acquiring language. However, this way of developing language is common, natural, and valid! Gestalt Language Processors initially assign an overall “feeling” to a word, phrase, or sentence. These learners often focus on the intonation of language instead of the individual words. These words, phrases, and sentences are called “gestalts.” These gestalts are commonly known as “echolalia” or “scripting.” A child often begins by imitating whole phrases they hear in their environment, including media (T.V. shows, songs, etc.). For example, a gestalt language processor might use “ready, set, go” to express that they want to go outside. Important note: The language we model is not a gestalt - it’s just our language! Stage 1 gestalts are individual to the child. These phrases are not meant to be explicitly “taught”. Rather, they can be utilized to help caregivers and therapists learn how to model language during play. This 12-page handout packet includes examples of stage 1 gestalts for a variety of routines and play activities. Great for therapists or parents looking to model a wider variety of gestalts. Handouts come in both a color and printer-friendly version, and are great for hanging on the fridge as a daily reminder. Stage 1 gestalt topics include: -meal time -bath time -potty -transitions -bedtime -brushing teeth -getting dressed -TV time -farm toys -blocks -cars -play-doh -magnatiles -letter/number play -books -songs -peek-a-boo -tag/chase -tickles -rough play -self-advocacy -peer interaction -sick/hurt -greetings/farewells
I sat there wondering how to correct a lisp... “Okay, hide your tongue behind your teeth,” I suggested. I was sitting in another speech therapy session with a student, trying to correct a frontal lisp. Unsuccessfully, I might add. “Thhhhhhhh,” was the response. Well, to be fair, my student HAD put his tongue behind his
